The semiconductor company eASIC has lauched the next generation Nextreme-2 family, which is a zero mask-charge ASIC family. The Nextreme-2 family is manufactured using the 45nm low-power process by Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing and features highly efficient LUT-based architecture. The logic fabric provides up to 700MHz performance, enabling signal processing engineers with DSP capability of 2.4 TeraMACs without the need for embedded multipliers. The combination of triple oxide transistors, 45nm LP process and power-management architecture results in reduced power consumption up to 80%, when compared with FPGAs. The features include up to 56 multi-Gigabit IOs (MGIOs), each capable of operating at 6.5Gbit/s, providing 364Gbit/s bandwidth. The networking applications include switches, routers, traffic management, metro transmission and mobile backhaul.
